Abstract:

Semitic Languages in Contact contains twenty case studies analysing various contact situations involving Semitic languages. The languages treated span from ancient Semitic languages, such as Akkadian, Aramaic, Classical Ethiopic, Hebrew, Phoenician, and Ugaritic, to modern ones, including languages/dialects belonging to the Modern Arabic, Modern South Arabian, Neo-Aramaic, and Neo-Ethiopian branches of the Semitic family. The topics discussed include writing systems, phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon. The approaches range from traditional philology to more theoretically-driven linguistics. These diverse studies are united by the theme of language contact. Thus, the volume aims to provide the status quaestionis of the study of language contact among the Semitic languages.

With contributions from Ahmad Al-Jallad, Ali Al-Manaser, David Appleyard, Samuel Boyd, Yochanan Breuer, Maria Bulakh, David Calabro, Eran Cohen, Riccardo Contini, C. Jay Crisostomo, Lutz Edzard, Humphrey Hardy, Uri Horesh, Otto Jastrow, Lily Kahn, Joseph Lam, Mila Neishtadt, Mikhal Oren, Paola Pagano, Aaron D. Rubin, Lotfi Sayahi, Jürgen Tubach, Juan-Pablo Vita, and Tamar Zewi.
